Bill Clinton vs. Fox News

[Rebecca]

Has anyone seen this video of Bill Clinton laying into a Fox News interviewer? I heard that Fox had it removed from youtube.

fox news sucks...I mean can you say... "censorship"

I saw a cartoon strip yesterday that mentions the same ABC documentary he mentions (the same one MoveOn tried to get pulled from the air). The cartoon strip asserted that "powerful democrats" got ABC to change the documentary to make the Clinton Administration look better.

My first thought was, "I saw that documentary, it blamed Clinton entirely for 9-11."

My second thought was, "What powerful democrats?"

It's like two halves of the country are operating with two completely different sets of facts. And I think Fox is largely responsible.

not in this instance - it's the top video on their website. although quite why they want anyone to see it is beyond me. clinton doesn't beat about the bush (no pun intended) and infuriatingly avoid the crux of the question like most politicians are trained to do. over here, at least. i suppose the interviewer didn't really realise that an ex-president has a significantly different viewpoint over foreign policy decisions than the general public does.

still, the pathetic question should have been raised at some point, and now it's been answered.

Yeah, I saw it. I thought it was very refreshing, though the mainstream media's response to it is as nauseating as it is typical, pulling a Dean and painting him as a raving madman foaming at the mouth. Even the Daily Show's coverage of it was somewhat lackluster, albeit comically accurate.

Yes, it's so nice to see a politician who has command of both the facts and syntax.

And now watch George Bush completely dodge the question about Clinton's assertion that the Bush administration didn't have a meeting about Bin Laden for 9 months after he was elected.

There was no doubt from any side that, going into his first term, Bush Jr. was going to stay as far away from foreign policy as possible because Clinton had been so much better at it than he could be and his "core" doesn't really like foreigners anyway.

That one didn't work out.
